EPCOT Reflections of Earth confirmed to be replaced by Harmonious

[Movielover]

It would. But budgets are being cut beyond necessities, not increased.

I forgot to mention that. I have no doubt nothing will change, just spit balling there.

It’s a service barge.

He was referring to a post above.

Oh lol.

So, Is EF the main consideration of shows to return? Seems like the most logical choice of all the nighttime spectaculars.

There is a desire to get a show running at Epcot along with Ratatouille opening once we have a vaccine.

Just curious, but are there plans (I would assume there are contingencies) if a vaccine doesn't come or is not widely available as soon as we all hope?

Curious to. Though different, Universal didn’t wait for a vaccine. I also think what Epcot could do and what MK or DHS could do is very different. Epcot has more spacing possibilities.

Epcot could get away with virtual queue the old fast pass + viewing area or other areas evenly spacing out guests by Having different shows at different times, i think, i don’t know, would be interesting to see how Universal and Sea world execute this

That's the big question. Seems like so many are positive a vaccine is imminent, but a safe vaccine without side effects distributed effectively could face a boatload of issues along the way.

Well, Epcot has never had multiple shows. That I know of. Oh course who knows what Harmonious will be capable of.

Very true, the only reason I mentioned different shows, was based on how Disneyland had two shows of Fantasmic and Two firework shows space out within 45 minutes

 

[ToTBellHop]

If there’s no vaccine, we will be in real trouble. But, from what I’m hearing from former colleagues, it’s highly likely that we will have a vaccine widely available in the spring. The presumption is that the combination of warmer weather and a vaccine will bring cases down naturally and if we do not fully-eradicate Covid, the optics of ending social distancing when people are choosing not to vaccinate are far better than before a vaccine is available.

Epcot could get away with 1 show since World Showcase is large enough to handle a massive crowd compared with Disneyland's Fantasmic area which is, to be kind, not...

You also need to have the manpower to police it (sadly)

And the manpower to produce the show.

Kinda seems like it's more about when the $ comes back than when it's safe? Or maybe its about safety because that's when the money returns?
And who knows if the crowds truly return without fireworks. Seems like a chicken VS the egg conundrum...
